Toronto Blue Jays

Toronto Blue Jays Tickets

Despite minor injuries to a few key players, the Toronto Blue Jays were healthy for most of 2014 and put together a decent season. Offensively, their bats were explosive thanks in part to their home park being conducive to homers and runs scored, but also guys like Jose Bautista, Jose Reyes, Edwin Encarnacion and Dioner Navarro. Blue Jays’ ticket holders get to witness Toronto’s high powered offense at Rogers Centre first hand and this year should be no different.

To improve for 2015 and potentially still be playing baseball in October, the Blue Jays made a few offseason moves in their favor. The acquisition of third baseman Josh Donaldson to replace the often injured Brett Lawrie will bring some firepower to the top of the lineup. All-star catcher and game manager Russell Martin inked a five-year deal and brings experience to the catcher position. The loss of Melky Cabrera, Colby Rasmus and Adam Lind should be negated by not only these two guys, but Michael Saunders from the Mariners and top prospect Dalton Pompey should also improve Toronto’s batting average and on-base percentage.

Perhaps the only real question mark for the Blue Jays this season will be their pitching, the bullpen in particular. The top of the rotation is basically set with R.A. Dickey and Mark Buehrle and if they can stay healthy they give the Blue Jays a chance to win each time they take the mound. Newly acquired Marco Estrada will be a positive influence in the bullpen and Aaron Loup should have a bigger role in 2015. With the departure of Casey Janssen as closer, Aaron Sanchez and Brett Cecil will most likely battle it out for the chance to take on that role.

The AL East as a whole is most certainly looking to improve on the collective mediocre 2014, and have all made offseason moves in order to move in the right direction. This year’s Blue Jays should have a chance to contend for a playoff spot and will make for an exciting team in 2015.

Rogers Centre

Home to the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball and the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. Rogers Centre formerly known as the Skydome that name was chosen by a “name the stadium” contest in 1987. Lifetime seats behind home plate to all events at the stadium including concerts as the prize. 12,897 names were submitted by 150,000 people. The selection committee selected four different names to choose from: “Towerdome”, “Harbourdome”, “SkyDome” and simply “The Dome”. The judges decided on “Skydome” there were over 2000 entries for Skydome alone. Kellie Watson was the prize winning selection out of those 2000 names in the lottery barrel. The decision for building an enclosed sports venue came after the Grey Cup game in November 1982, held at the outdoor Exhibition Stadium. A driving rainstorm left the crowd soaked and critics coined the nickname “the Rain Bowl”.

The initial cost estimate was greatly underestimated, with the final price tag coming in at $570 million. Seating capacity for the Centre is 49,282 for baseball and 53,506 for football games. There are a total of 5,700 club seats and 161 luxury suites at the Rogers Centre. The Centre also has over $5million in artwork that was commissioned in 1989 to display. The Rogers Centre has hosted exhibition soccer, cricket, Gaelic football, Hurling, Australian Rules football, tennis and four NCAA International Bowl games. The 1992 World Series and 1993 were both played at the Centre. Then in January 2007, Rogers Centre played host to the first ever International Bowl, an NCAA college football game between Western Michigan U and the University of Cincinnati.

Toronto Blue Jays History

The Toronto Blue Jays first took the field as a MLB team in 1977. Predictably, those first few seasons would be an epic struggle. The club regularly flirted with triple-digit loss totals and gave fans little reason to believe things would improve.

By the middle of the 1980s the front office had put together a formidable roster that would capture a few division titles and make a several brief runs in the playoffs. Left fielder George Bell , center fielder Lloyd Moseby, and right fielder Jesse Barfield made up one of the most dangerous outfields in the American League. Dave Stieb, Jimmy Key, and others would fill out a starting rotation that put up a fight in a very crowded AL East.

This group won two division titles in the 1980s, becoming the dominant team in the East while the traditional powers struggled. Once the Yankees, Orioles, and other clubs with more history returned to contender status the club did not simply fade away. Instead, these years would be the precursor to the Blue Jay’s golden age.

In the early 1990s, the Toronto Blue Jays had crafted a roster that has survived the test of time and now is counted among the very best in the history of the MLB. Devon White played in center, Roberto Alomar starred at second, Joe Carter dominated in right, Dave Winfield was a hired gun at DH, John Olerud quietly killed at first, and Pat Borders put the finishes on a Hall of Fame career at catcher. In addition, Jack Morris joined Key, Juan Guzman, and Todd Stottlemyre to form a rotation that went four-deep for the postseason. The Blue Jays won back to back World Series in 1992 and 1993 and threatened to redefine the perception of baseball prowess in the AL on the East Coast.

Unfortunately, the price of keeping such a roster proved unrealistic and the club chose to keep in contention on a budget. This meant something had to suffer. The Blue Jays offensive bite disappeared.

Yet, the Blue Jays fans could still maintain some hope as the club seemed to always have a Cy Young Award candidate leading the rotation. From 1996 to 2003, a Toronto pitcher won the AL Cy Young Award five times. Pet Hentgen, Roger Clemens, Eric Hinske, and Roy Halladay’s personal successes were not enough to return the club in the MLB playoffs. Now the team has moved the fences in at the Rogers Centre and is trying to once again craft a balanced team with the hopes of taking the East.
